Erasmus – authentication at the Central Authentication Service of WUT

Authenticating to the Central Authentication Service of WUT

This instruction explains how to authenticate to the Central Authentication Service (CAS) of the Warsaw University of Technology. Authentication is required whenever you need access to your individual data in the USOS (University Study-Oriented System) web site, for instance when you need to register for courses in the summer semester 2023/2024. To successfully authenticate yourself you must know your ID number and your password. Both components are explained below.

First of all you must know your individual ID number. This number denotes your account and this number must be provided to the Authentication Service whenever such authentication is required. You should have received this number from the Recruitment Service of the Warsaw University of Technology (or from the International Office of the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, depending on the recruitment process).

Note

Polish citizens have a national-wide ID numbers called PESEL and they provide these numbers whenever asked for authentication. Erasmus students, on contrary, usually don’t have PESEL numbers so they should provide their ID numbers assigned by the University (eleven digits long – starting from 007) instead of PESEL.

Usage instructions

You should provide your ID number (eleven digits long – starting from 007, like James Bond) when you are asked either for Username or PESEL by the Authentication Service.

For secure authentication (a proper one) you need also use a password apart from an ID number or Username. Which is also important, you should use your own password which you have invented on your own. This password will replace an initial password settled by the USOS registration procedure when your account was created by the International Office.

1. Initiate the resetting password procedure to get your individual link, which is sent to your email box
2. Set your own password using the link which you received in step 1

Usage instructions

To initiate the resetting password procedure you must use the resetting password » link and you need to provide your e-mail address, but this must be exactly the address which is set as your primary email address in the USOS system  (initially it is the address which you provided in yours Erasmus Application Form, but then it is replaced by the address assigned by the University).
